I watched a few how to cross stitch videos earlier, and they barely taught me anything, no techniques, no tips. In one video she even said as long as you can make an X with thread then you can do it. Which was not helpful haha. Your videos describe the little details and actually teach you how to do it properly.
Glad I was able to make sense to you, lol. I'm the type of person that can hear, or read, how to do something and not get it, but if I watch someone else do it I pick it right up, and that's what I try to do for everyone else.
Yup some people don't feel comfortable with too simple explanations and they want to basically be told how to do it and other people just like discovering for themselves and it's nice that there's something for everyone!
Thank you so much for this and your previous tutorial! I told a friend I wanted to try cross stitch, and she gave me a small kit similar to this one, but it has about 5 colors. You answered just about EVERY question I had. I didn't want to start it, mess up, have to undo, or waste my floss. I will be watching these over and over until I get the hang of it! I'm glad this is still here 4 years after you made it! God Bless
Glad it could help!
Great explanations although I also found the constant flipping of the material made me dizzy. I’m a newbie to cross stitching and super excited about starting my first project! Thanks for posting these videos 😊
Sorry about the flipping being so annoying. I started doing it that way just because I usually have a difficult time seeing where my needle is going to come through if I'm not looking right at it. I'll try to make it less dizzying in future videos though!
Do you flip all of the crosstitch that you do or just this beginner pattern. I find it more confusing because you are flipping to the back
If you have light on the underside (sunlight in a well lit room) you can easily see the holes and just visually put the needle back up and through without the flip :)
@@inhaledexhaled5460oh I need to try this.....I don't mind the flipping but it feels so slow and unintuitive to me(total newbie)
This was the best tutorial I've seen about ending the row correctly to move up to the next row. I completed my first beginner kit yesterday and I was not doing this and was sort of separating the canvas a bit.
I'm glad I was able to help!
First video to pop up when i searched and i loved it. It helped me start and i feel like i can go off and do it on my own now!
I never thought to plan out the stitches first. That’s great top to get the most mileage out of the floss.
This is awesome! My aunt gave me her old kit that she never used and I want to do it as a gift for her for the new year. Only problem is that its a HUUUGE project. These videos have been helping me a lot in getting right at it. I'm taking on the next 31 days for my project and you have already been a huge help!
I love you. NO tutorials made sense until yours. thank you! I'm so excited now
Fantastic introduction to cross-stitch, the best I've found. You have a patient, and clear presenting style that appeals to me. I have a couple of small kits to tackle and you have given me the guidance I needed to start. Many thanks Phil.
Glad I could help, and I hope your stitching has been going well!
although this video is old. I have to say thank you! I decided to copy this image for my first cross stitch. and I have to say it's coming out great for my first time!! ❤️ thank you for the great tutorial
Glad you enjoyed it and hope you enjoyed your first stitching!
Just started cross stitching after 20 years. This has been the best how to EVER!
Just recently started cross stitching and your videos are incredibly helpful. Thanks so much for posting these!
Thank you! Glad I could help!
“I hope this makes sense to you”
Me, a beginner: 🥲🥴🤯
Thank you for the tutorials! I am just starting to learn and am wanting to make a rather ambitious gift for my sister for Christmas. I definitely feel more confident after being able to learn how to practice some stitches. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! I never did embroidery before and thanks to you I finished my first project: a beautyful rose (8 colors!!!)
You are the BEST ❤
I'm still watching, Phil! This was helpful and I will scout ahead on my pattern before I start. Am going to watch the next one to see how you transfer to another color. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, and planning ahead usually helps me out quite a bit!
I learned to cross stitch maybe 12 years ago, and stopped after a few years. Thought about picking it up again, and am so glad I found your tutorial. You reminded me of a number of things that will make this much easier to pick up again and enjoy it. Thank you.
glad I could help make it easier for you to jump back in!
Thank you SO much for these videos! They are incredibly helpful to someone brand new to cross-stitching. Really appreciate this content!
I cross out the picture as I go .that way I won't be mix up
That's a great way to keep track of where you are!
I am just starting to do cross stitch after I got a starter kit for Christmas. I’m so excited!! Thanks for such an informative vid
Excellent tips 👍👍 I frequently flip the material back and forth like you demonstrated, it helps me avoid mistakes and makes things go a lot more smoothly!
Starting cross stitching again and needed a refresher, your videos were so helpful thanks so much!
His voice is so calming. Made a mistake? It's ok. We'll make it a happy little cloud.
Fantastic video, love it. I just picked up cross stitching again and always thought there was one way to do it right. Never thought much about stitching up instead of down and not finishing a row right away, or threading the needle that way.
Thank you for the easy simple detailed cross stitch instruction.
That turn8ng over trick was brilliant! Also use Lori Holt’s 10 count. So soft and easy to use. It’s a game changer!!!!
Thank you for this tutorial and your last cross stitch one too! I just started learning and this helped me make a birthday gift for a friend!
Awesome, I hope your friend loved it!
new to cross-stitching your tutorial helped me to get started !
Hey Phil! I am so excited that you’re doing these videos! Ive only met one other guy who did cross stitching, and I hate to admit, but he was so much better than me, hands down. Even though I had started when I was 8, he obviously had a better teacher! 😁
When he looked at the back of my work, he was surprised to see how messy everything looked, and from then on, I became what I called “a strategic stitcher”! Hahaha! So, I started giggling and got really excited when you talked about strategic stitching!! I was thinking to myself, “SWEET! I’m not the only one who does that, too!!
Are you going to teach anymore about cross stitching and the terms of “parking your floss”? Or any techniques on how to do French knots, stem stitches or anything like that? I’m sad I just discovered these videos. You’re probably not doing these anymore. 😢
Hey Amy! I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos I've done so far, and I'm definitely planning on doing more of them! Lately time has been at a premium between work and being at home with an 8 month old, but I'm going to get back on it eventually. Hopefully you'll still be around when I get them posted ;)
Phil's Next Kick Awww! Congrats on the little one! I’m not going anywhere anytime soon! Hahaha! Have such an awesome day!!
Thanks for making it clear for us.
Also, I have a big one right here and I don't know how to start it so I tried looking for tutorials and found this video.
Bob Ross and his happy little trees can shove it! 😆You rock the cross stitch Phil!👊💥✨
This was so satisfying to watch - thank you!
Thank you!! Such clarity, I really appreciate this video!!
I'm glad I could help!
I like all your explanations because thoseare making my job easy!!! Very good
Thanks, glad I make sense! lol
Phil's Next Kick NICE!!!!
Woooow another youtuber who replied!!! TY!
Thank you Phil!
I am newer than new and my friend sent me here :)
I love this, its like the bob ross of stitching :)
Thank you, for giving me the concept of Cross Stitching. 👍😊
Glad I could help.
Thank you, very informative compared to the other videos on RUclips!
oh thy god of cross-stitching, hear my prayers and my cries,
ok imma drop the acting
but seriously tho: a friend of mine gave me an advanced kit for cross-stitching. and its a grape with 18 different colors and idk what to do and where to start, so i hope ur videos enlighten me in this journey
I do hope they were able to help!
Thank you for this tutorial! The only thing that bothers me is the constant flipping. Ecru time you flipped the fabric I lost track of where you were and where you were going and had to reorient. But you have some great tips!
Love it. Thanks for your explanations!
You're welcome!
wow, this is great--also, hello from the other side of town (auburn)!
Hello back at you!
Useful ideas about planning ahead and well explained. But oh that video! All that flipping to back then front then back... My head hurts! I find it's generally not too difficult to find my way through the correct hole from the back, so the pattern is (usually) facing me all the time. It's also less confusing, for me at least. Thoughts?
I think it is less confusing for a lot of people not to flip while stitching, I just personally find it easier for myself. It may be because a lot of the locations I stitch in don't have the best lighting and if I don't flip I'm just guessing where to bring my needle back through, and that can be quite frustrating to me.
Really enjoyed this video too
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
What do you do if you run out of thread while your doing a row? Also your video are really helpful and make me want to learn more!
Just use the same technique as when you would change colors. Run your thread under a few stitches on the back, cut and re-thread, then start back where you left off!
@@PhilsNextKick Thank you so much!
thank you for this video tutorial!! 😍😊
You are welcome! I hope it was helpful.
Greta tutorial!!! But please show what to do. I.E. tie or knot when you run out.
Thank you so much! Mad helpful.
I enjoyed this. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hoping to be able to start doing quite a bit more with cross stitch and other crafts soon!
Omg I bought this freaking advanced Star Wars and I’m going F this up lol great
I bought a Hello Kitty one because why not. Go big or go home. Total epic failure in some parts.
Great tip! ❤😊👍
Thank you so much!
stares in awe woah thanks this sucth mega helpfull video
Surprisingly Future Space wormhole physics, I.T, maths, geometry, navigation and possibly some materials sciences and spacial awareness lessons might begin with stitching tutorials if you think about it. 🤔
Thank you!!!
Do you ever use the hoop? Or is this project too small? Nice second video!
Yea, this one is just so small I don't bother with a hoop. I do use one for bigger projects, and for really large ones I have a scroll type holder.
I just picked up a Cross stich I would like to do but after I looked at it. It is way way beyond my experience I want to get it done in honor of my chief that passed away on 02-15-2022 . I was seeing if you could do it for me I can mail it to you and pay you for your time and if you like you can use it on your channel
Every video I've watched skips the explanation about where to start the second row. Are you using the same holes as the previous row for the beginning of the next row of stitches??
what do you do when you run out of thread on your needle? Do you just pin it down like you do when you have the tail in the beginning?
You can just change to another strand the same way I change colors in this video ruclips.net/video/zCL5C1kFhlQ/видео.html
Hi, how do you do those legs a straight line? Thank you for you awesome video.
there is another video for the lines
Do you ever color in your fabric to help give you a guide when doing a longer set of stitches? 🐞
does anyone know if it matters if i go bottom right to top left/top left to bottom right, or to go bottom left to top right/top right to bottom left first? I'm just starting out cross stitching so I have no clue if this order matters or not? And if so, I would like to know why
Thanks..
Can you cross stitch on normal fabric or felt, what are some tips
Thanks...but, you lost me, on the skipping decisions. May try to watch again later...
Do I need a hoop to cross stitch? I have never cross stitched before.
Why don't you recommend doing one stitch at a time? Does it just save time typically or is there another reason?
To me it at least feels like it saves more time and possibly uses less floss by doing rows instead of one stitch at a time. It's also easier for me to lock in the loose ends that way.
WTH I need to know how to end a color. The next video skips over this step. Do you tie a knot in the red then start black??
You juat run your floss under a few stitches on the back to secure it, cut, then re-thread with the new color. This video should explain it ruclips.net/video/zCL5C1kFhlQ/видео.html
@@PhilsNextKick thanks man!
What happened to the next chapter? 😭
🖐🏼🙂 I wonder why you don't recommend doing one stitch at a time? 🤔 Does anyone know why?
It's just the way I prefer to do my stitching, especially when working on large sections of the same color. I always say the right way to cross stitch is the way that works best for you!
Phil: Is your Ladybug Kit available any where
Can you make aa pdf available of the Ladybug?
i love you
Why don’t you recommend doing one stitch at a time? Could you expand on that?
Дякую!
It's so complicated is there any other easy way?
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I really don't understand any of this. I'm so confused
Mm
😅
Wow it’s too bad that I see a wedding ring
Sorry about that, lol. My wife is very glad I still have it on.
I can't get what you're doing because it gives me a headache trying to watch you flipping back and forth. So the discussion doesn't help much if I can't watch what you're doing.
There must be something wrong with me because you just confused me to the point I ragequit. Oh well.
